Sony's 2010/2011 OLED and flagship XBR series LCD roadmap leaked?
Ready to dig deep, really deep, for a tiny but magnificent OLED television? You'd better be 'cause some purportedly leaked Sony documents are showing a new "KDL-ZX Series OLED" on the 2010 / 2011 roadmap. All the sets are listed as prototypes so they may or may not make it to market for retail. But with Sony's two year old, 11-inch XEL-1 OLED TV now dwarfed by LG's new 15-inch OLED TV and a 20-incher promised for 2010, well, we expect Sony will want to regain its leadership in the new year. The docs also show updates to Sony's flagship XBR series with the XBR11 LED W-backlit LCD and XBR12 Advanced LED RGB-backlit LCD sets coming in sizes from 32- to 60-inches featuring 240Hz Motionflow, a new Bravia Engine 3 PRO with HD Video processor, and UV2A panel technology. Unfortunately, some of the XBR information (the most important, presumably) is blacked-out and we're only looking at 2 of what appear to be 24 pages of leaked content. Boy would we love to peak behind that curtain. XBR11 spec sheet on display after the break. [Via OLED-Display]
E-TEN turns glofiish X650 into reality
In case the FCC-style announcement wasn't enough for you, the glofiish X650 is now being trumpeted by E-TEN itself which promises availability in "two to three weeks." The phone is essentially a tweaked X600 -- a phone that was announced not long ago, making for some miffed owners, we'd imagine -- adding a VGA display, FM radio, and an FM transmitter (on certain versions) while maintaining the 2 megapixel cam, EDGE data, GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. VGA resolution is great and all, but we think the best feature here might be the color selection: black or purple. Purple! You go, E-TEN.[Via phoneArena]
E-TEN glofiish X650 in the FCC's mix
Like the just-announced glofiish X600 but wanted that certain something extra? You know, that intangible feature that could've set the X600 well apart from the crowd. Okay, here's an idea: how about an FM transmitter? Yep, the X650 goes all Fusic on us by taking the X600's formula, changing the color scheme just a smidge, and adding an FM transmitter for sending its tunes onto whatever radio in the vicinity that's tuned to the right frequency (according to the filed user's manua. Unfortunately, the X650 gains no 3G advantage over its cousin, but we're hearing it might rock a VGA display versus the X600's QVGA -- and if that's the case, screw the FM transmitter, 640 x 480 is the real reason to get this sucker.
